Visual Visions for the New Year
I hope this message finds you well, additionally I hope you were able to find some time to rest and rejuvenate with family and friends during the winter break.
As we return back to work a restored sense of vision is often at the forefront. The start of a new year typically presents an opportunity to begin anew, as many set goals and aspirations. As you plan, please take solace knowing your worth, you have much value. Value in your community, with your students and value to art education. You matter and your work is important.
We hope that GAEA can continue to provide you with resources, research, leadership, and service to help you achieve all your goals and aspirations for art. We are thankful for your presence and look forward to building relationships with each of you as we advocate and advance art education in Georgia.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to lead this amazing association and can not wait to see all the amazing things you and your students will do this year.
Please continue to look to the GAEA Art Blast for information that can help you plan throughout the year.
All the best,
Stan Dodson
